    Miele - Miledew Deposit

    Hi All, have a Mile Novo Washing Machine. The rubber ring around the front of the machine has a black deposit. I have let it be as it seemed to be doing no harm, and did not come off to the touch. Anyhow, a number of wash items recently have taken on grey patches and the problem seems to be...

    Gloworm EnergySaver 50e Condenser Boiler - Small Leak

    i'm just guessing that there must be a sealant resistant to high temperatures. i will apply it, if the leak stops then it's fixed. why spend hundreds of pounds on parts and labour before trying that first?

    Gloworm EnergySaver 50e Condenser Boiler - Small Leak

    have located the leak to the very bottom of the "flame chamber" it is below the flame grill in the little ledge underneath (it is not directly exposed to flames, but still must get pretty hot in there). Any idea what sealant can be used, as I don't really want to go the blow torch route?

    Gloworm EnergySaver 50e Condenser Boiler

    Thanks chaps, all very useful tips. Can someone explain why on one occasion you get gas ignition on the first click of the electrode, and then after switching off and immediately switching on to try ignition again absolutely jack happens! Maddening stuff and seems to defy logic.

    Gloworm EnergySaver 50e Condenser Boiler

    Sorry Rob, I changed my last post as you were writing yours. What are the two terms "burner" and "main injector". Is the burner simply the metal grill covering the base of the chamber? Is the main injector a unit beneath the grill, if so how do I access it? Regards Paul

    Gloworm EnergySaver 50e Condenser Boiler

    Just going back to the matter of the electrode. I remember that when a Corgi engineer visited the property he did pull out the metal prong on the electrode to clean it (when the boiler was not igniting) - that's what made me think it was detachable. Maybe it was not meant to be detached at...

    Gloworm EnergySaver 50e Condenser Boiler

    Thanks for the response Agile. When you say replace it, do I have to replace the whole ignition electrode? if i look at this, it is affixed by screws to a plate just on the outside of the "inner cavity" box - the problem is that this plate is very badly corroded so I cannot unscrew it...
